Regina Travel Guide

Regina is the capital of the historical Saskatchewan region; a
Canadian province bordering the US states of Montana and North
Dakota. The sunniest capital city in Canada, Regina is known for
being the cultural and commercial hub for southern Saskatchewan and
the wider region.

While not a celebrated tourist destination in itself, the city
is the main transport hub of the region and therefore a common stop
for travellers. Those spending a day or two in Regina will find a
few interesting museums, good shopping opportunities, and some vast
neighbourhood parks. It is said that there is more open space per
person in Regina than in any other Canadian city, which makes it a
popular choice for those interested in outdoor activities such as
biking, cross-country skiing and long walks. The Wascana Lake
occupies the centre and makes for an ideal spot for boating
activity in the warm summers and skating in the icy winters.

Regina is also known for its famed Wascana Centre which remains
one of its most popular attractions. The centre is home to the
Provincial Legislative Building, both campuses of the University of
Regina, the Provincial Museum of Natural History, the Regina
Conservatory, an art gallery, as well as the Saskatchewan Centre of
Arts.

There are cafes, bookshops and a few good restaurants located in
the Cathedral District of the region, and for those in search of
local talent, there is substantial cultural wealth to be found in
the local theatre, music and dance scene.
